UPS opens Colombian healthcare facility
UPS has open a new healthcare-dedicated facility in Colombia. The 76,000-square-foot, multi-client facility is equipped with technology for storing temperature-sensitive healthcare products and offers distribution services, warehouse management, and late-stage customization solutions such as labeling, product kitting and configuration, and repackaging.
“This latest announcement represents part of UPS’s long-term strategy to strengthen its integrated healthcare network to help manufacturers lower costs, streamline inventory and meet increasing demands across Latin America and the world,” said Francisco Ricaurte, UPS Colombia country manager.
The building is located near El Dorado International Airport in San Diego Industrial Park in the Funza, Cundinamarca area of Colombia.
UPS has been active in the healthcare industry in Colombia for 11 years. This is the second healthcare-dedicated facility in the country and the ninth in the region. In Latin America, UPS distribution centres are located in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, México and Puerto Rico.
